Popular Post Kingster Posted June 27, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted June 27, 2015 Had a fantastic drive out today, despite a few gremlins, taking in some of my old biking haunts in Northumberland. The main reason it was so memorable was that I had a chance to take a close friend out with me who has been diagnosed with MND. I was hoping to do this before it was too difficult for him and so was relieved that the weather held up and that he was up for it. The best part was near the end after an hour around the twisties when I asked what he thought. He just said "well, I haven't stopped grinning from the moment we left, and it has been quite a while since I've had something to smile about". Job done. Made my day. 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B.RAD Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Sounds like whatever else happens with your car now, that will have made the build and all the DVLA issues well worth it - well done and so nice to hear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was one of the reasons I was anxious to get the car on the road as things are progressing quickly in a downward direction for my mate.

After all the troubles you had getting there, the first proper run really puts life in perspective. Well done, a really moving post, thank you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CosKev Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Well done Chris, shows how much fun these are if it can make someone facing such a cruel thing smile. I've been sulking about with my car not road worthy, but when you hear of people facing things like that it really does make you realise how lucky we are to have good health, and stupid things like the DVLA etc should not bother us!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhett Turner - Black Country AO Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 I know exactly how you feel, my first passenger has now passed away having lost his battle with cancer, my aim when building mine was to get it on the road while he was still well enough to enjoy a passenger ride.
